Hi guys.
I just gor me a Bushmaster BA-50 (BMG).
What I really wanted is a carabine, but I found a great deal on the rifle (it sells at $4500 and I found one almost new at 3k's).
Problem is the rifle is huge and I really don't need to compensate for anything[Coffee], so I wanted to cut down the barrel from 30" to 22" (carabine lenght).
It involves recrowning, rethreading for the muzzle brake and most of all cutting through a BIG ASS barrel.
Obviously I don't want this to cost me an arm and a leg, but, IF I get it done it needs to be done right.
Any suggestions (N Denver preferred)?

GREAT guy and very professional.
We aren't talking about a hacksaw and a vice on a picnic table here. he has all of the lathes and machine saws and whatever-nots (I'm not a machinist)

Make sure your hairpiece is staked on well before shooting that 22 inch barrel!
